What exactly does it taste like?
While imagining its taste, Haruki lifted the spoon worm high up and turned it inside out.
Ugh
As Karen groaned, Haruki quickly decided to put the spoon worm away in his backpack.
Karen looked as if she was ready to throw it away as garbage, though.
After receiving the magic bag from Karen, he stored the spoon worm inside.
In the end, the 10th floor was a food floor, where food monsters appeared.
Knowing that, Haruki rubbed his chest in relief and hunted more spoon worms to his hearts content.
So can you really eat these?
Thats right
Having previously obtained hot stones, Haruki decided to use them to grill the spoon worms in a brazier.
The only reason Akane was nearby was so that she could learn how to use those magical heating tools.
It was by no means to share in Harukis meal.
However, she had her personal chopsticks in her hand, which she had brought with her from who knows where.
She might have been planning to eat at some point.
You dont have to eat if you dont want to, its fine.
Never mind me, theres so much of it already that I ought to try a bit at least.
Dont you know the saying Those who do not work, do not eat?
The only ones who hunted the spoon worms were Haruki and Karen.
Akane hadnt killed a single spoon worm.
It wasnt because she hadnt been able to fight.
Even if she fought, she wouldnt have been able to defeat the spoon worms.
That is not to say that Akane was weak.
Rather, despite being startled and crying during the fight, her movements were swift and strong. Haruki had been watching her the whole time.
However, when Akane was busy fighting with a spoon worm, another spoon worm would appear from behind her.
That second spoon worm would then gulp her up from her head.
That happened several times during the fight.
According to Karen, Akane had been swallowed by the spoon worms one too many times for a days worth.
So in short, Akane hadnt been able to defeat a single spoon worm.
Or had she?
To Haruki, Akane seemed to be letting herself get swallowed by the spoon worms on purpose.
It was certainly a strange way to attract the monsters attention.
He was about to ask her about it, but Akane seemed to notice his intention and put her index finger in front of her mouth as if asking him to shut up.
Her eyes were filled with a strong light like he had never seen before.
( Got it.)
There must have been some point to her doing that.
Having guessed as much, Haruki simply decided to leave it to Akane.
That had surely been necessary in order to help Karen grow stronger.
Haruki couldnt understand why it had been necessary to do it like that, though
Hey, its getting burned there.
Hey!
Come on, turn it over!
This girl
Disappointed, Haruki turned the spoon worms over so they wouldnt burn.
When exposed to heat in a brazier, the spoon worms bent backwards.
The scent of the grilled spoon worms crawled into Harukis nostrils, causing his mouth to overflow with saliva.
It was a wonderful smell reminiscent of a beach.
Harukis stomach began to growl as if urging the worms to be ready.
Hey, Karen. These are already done, so you can have them first.
Ah, thank you very much.
Hey, those are mine, arent they?
Was someone who wasnt a team member and didnt help with the harvesting entitled to enjoy the meal afterwards?
If you want to eat, then hunt spoon worms. Then you can eat as many as you want.
Eeeh!? Come on! Dont say that! Aw, come oooon!
Haruki kept on roasting spoon worms while ignoring Akane.
Since they were eating, Haruki took off his mask and put it aside.
Akane then pointed at the mask and began to talk.
Well, look at you! It seems you have an unexpectedly impressive presence, Air I mean, Haruki!
Cut it out, you.
That was enough.
That wasnt Haruki. It was just a mask!
Haruki began to ignore Akane even more.
Well, here goes nothing
Karen takes a bite of her serving of grilled spoon worms.
Her face was a bit stiff at first, but after taking that first bite, her face loosened up instantly.
Mhmmm
Even after having gulped down the spoon worm, her face was in a state of daze.
It seemed as if it had been the tastiest thing she had ever eaten in her life.
When someone eats something really tasty, they often say something like Its delicious!, or This is great! while overcome with surprise.
As he watched Karens blissful facial expression, Haruki took his first bite.
The words wouldnt come out.
Haruki was unable to say a single word.
It was crunchy, and its taste spread through his entire mouth every time he chewed.
It tasted like milk mussels.
But its texture was different.
That texture greatly enhanced the spoon worms taste.
To think that the people of Hamamasu had this kind of food all to themselves!
How inexcusable of them!
Haruki and Karen keep digging into their servings.
Even if they wanted to stop eating, their chopsticks wouldnt stop bringing food to their mouths.
But they didnt even want to stop.
All they wanted to do was to keep tasting that delicious flavor for another second before taking another bite.
But there was no use wishing for that.
The stars started to appear in the sky, and the air became chilly as the sun started to recede.
And that whole time
My serving Wheres my serving Wahahaahhh!
The only sound that could be heard across the rural field was the wailing of the one person who could not enjoy a single serving of spoon worms.
Muscle is power!
Im back safely
Hey everyone, long time no see!
Its me, your favorite muscle, Bacon!
With Masatsugus help, I was able to escape the maze in Shinjuku Station!
I appreciate everyones concern.
Since Ive been in a constantly pumped-up state, I ended up losing some body fat.
Thanks to that, my muscles look sharper now!
Are you all exercising properly?
If you do, your muscles will never betray you when you need them most!
Well then.
I have been able to deal with a lot of monsters until now.
Im ready to go back to my usual self!
So hold your fists tight!
Hold them up in the air!
Doesnt it make you feel pumped up?
Time to flex!
Thats right!
Lets get pumped up and take Shinjuku back!
Hustle muscle!
